I believe nova-network does this by using 'conntrack -D -r $fixed_ip' when the
floating IP goes away (search for clean_conntrack), Neutron doesn't when it
removes the floating IP.  Seems like it's possible to close most of that gap
in the l3-agent - when it removes the IP from it's qg- interface it can do a
similar operation.
